Coldplay put pedal to the metal in their video recorded in Mexico City for their new single A Head Full of Dreams.

The filming of the video caused a stir in Mexico’s capital in April when fans discovered the band was shooting scenes in a central neighbourhood during appearances in the city.

The song is the title track from the band’s seventh studio album.

The video intersperses street scenes with shots of residents looking straight into the camera and band members riding through the streets on BMX bicycles.

Eventually they ride on to the stage for a concert in front of thousands of screaming fans.

Coldplay are touring in the US with a weekend show at the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles and another in Las Vegas on September 1.
